Berkeley 10K: Become an APIENC Champion!

TEAM APIENC RUNS BERKELEY has become an API Equality – Northern California tradition. This year marks our 3rd annual Berkeley Run where our awesome volunteers run, walk, or even skip for LGBTQ API justice. Our goal for our end-of-the-year fundraiser is to raise $10K for 10K! What’s even more amazing is that we already have APIENC Champions who will match our Berkeley runners’ donations up to $10,000.

One of our returning runners, Benita Benavides, has this to share:

So far, friends and family have been supportive. Some just get these done right away. I am surprised by the shares—true, they are some of my closest friends, but also not the ones who are most active on Facebook.

Part of our end-of-the-year tradition is also the Volunteer Appreciation Brunch—a space to celebrate all the amazing people who have spent time and energy working to build, organize, and work with an LGBTQ API community. RSVP here for the Brunch!
